Through the favor OF r. J. Shoe
maker, the principal CT the Pennsgrove
pubic school, we have been shown a
map of the United States and Mexico
a. feet square made on boards in relief
with putty. The low lands and rivers
are made with depressions while the
mountain ranges are made i'll proml-
nence with considerable accuracy. 1t
was the work principally of Alfred
Wainwright assisted by v4laude Kille
and Harry Sailor. 1t is masterpiece
of workmanship for boyIf and shows
much work and pains taofng on their
part. 1t took thirty pour lis of putty
to make it,
We were also shown a map OF the
United States worked in zebbyr on bris-
tie board with the border # the states
and the rivers in different eolors 1t
was the work of Miss Bepa Parvin who
has shown much accuracg and skill III

day. You found all that We
promised; we think you found
more. 1t is our intention that
you shall always be happily dis.
appointed-expect less than
you get when you come here
It's a very good way to make
you want to come again.
We told you yesterday Of the
nearly three M0uSand cases OF
| dry goods for the wholesale
flat were moved in upon us.
Did you fully realize the
amount! Didyou stop to think
how many railroad trains would
have been required to move
those great boxes? Theywere
swallowed up in our big build
ing and now you, casual look
ers, may think they are out of
the way. They are tc you, but
not to us. We must empty a
great many of those boxes and
get them out of the store before
we can move about properly.
You are helping us to empty
them. Every article you take
out of the store makes iteasier
for us to deal with what is left.
We are tryingto encourage you
to help us by making it to your
gain to do SO. Look at the
price tags. Each one is a di-
rect appeal to you. There is
no deception, no uncertainty
there. 1t is often as if we were
to offer you gold dollars for
less than one hundred cents
each. We can afford to do this
because what represents a dol
lar to us now, with interest, in
surance and storage-cost might
a year hence stand for an eighth
more than a dollar. Betterfor
us to give that to you.
This we are doing. 1t isn't
our say SO that proves it, it is
your being here. You wouldn't
come if there were no induce
ments; words are not the at
traction, it must be the goods
themselves. They are the mag
net that draws. The goods
and the prices; words only turn
your attention to them. You
hear other words you see other
prices. If you are wise-most
of you are very wise in such
things-you compare,--quality
and price, quality and price.
The more you compare the
larger our crowd will grow.
We mean to make it so at all
times; we mean to make it more
than ever so now.
Today will give you some at
tractive price lists; study them
well. We can only give you a
little of the stock at a time, so
lock each bulletin over care
fully and then act quickly. 1t
isn't safe to wait a day, What
you want may have been snap
ped up by someone else. You'll
always fndbig bargains ofsome
kind, but you want them and tile
particular thing also. Then be
wide awake. Remind the friend
whose need you know, if you
see anything that would be well
come at that price. When
such a chance to buy offers it's
a kindness to tell of it.
Notice what we have been
doing with the prices of Ladies
Wraps, Jackets and New Mar
kets. Some of them cut in two;
some down two thirds, some a
third. Among them many very
desirable imported goods; all
OF them OF the latest styles both
of fabrics and cut. These are
the price-fgures that tell hall
the story, Your eyes must tel
the rest. Would what we ask
pay for the material and max
ing? The ladies will know anc
the wraps will go.

competency when he desires to be free

But if he is inclined to humor his
tastes when young-to buy we will say
expensive furniture or to mingle too
freely in society, so that he never saves
at all until he is five and forty-what
good will 1000 o him then? 1t is, of
course, good in itself, but as the founda-

IAN Quiet Along the potomac.r

While visiting the beautiful little
town of Buena Vista, some time ago.
l. tumbIed on some "reminiscences of
the brilliant genius who wrote, "All
Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight"
Poor Thad. Oliver Bright, fascin-
atlng, brilliant and dissipated. He
could make the finest speech of any
man at the bar He was better half
drunk than his brethren were in their
coolest moments. His puns. his cpl
grams and Jokes, to say nothing of his
sweet little poems, were quoted by @
large circle of enthusiastic friends. But
he lived out his days before he had
time to fulfil the promise of his youth.
L can well imagine how that sensitive
soul was moved to formulate that grand
poem as he stood picket at some lonely
post beside the dark Potomac River,
while
The stars up above with their glitterinG
eyes
Keep guard, for the army is sleeping.
He had no accurate notion of the
value of his work, and the scrawl was
passed from one to another of his COM
rades, and around the camp fire they
read and commented upon it. They
We're true critics. One of his comrades
told me that he had been moved to tears
by the lines:
There is only the sound Of the lone SEN
try's tread,
AS he ramps from the rock to the
fountain,
And he thinI.s of the two on the low
trundle bed
In the cot far away on the mountaia.
And when the battle was over. w? en-
poor Thad. had been roughly saluted by
the grim messenger, and lay in an m
known grave on a battle-scarred sl0pe
among the Virginia hills, then the
literati read and wondered.
First one and then another of the
sweet singers of the earth were credited
with this masterpiece of poetry. And
there lay the author, unheeding the
wrangling and the conflicting criticisms
of those who wisely sat themselves in
the seat of Judgment
Hark Was it the night wind that rushed
through the trees?
Vast the moonbeams so wondrouslv
flashing?
1t looked like a musket. "Hai Mary
good-byr'
And the lifeblood was ebbinp and
splashing
All quiet along the Potomac tonight:
No sound save the rush of the river:
While soft falls the dew on the face Of
the dead,
The picket's off duty forever,
-tAtlanta Constitution.
